My math isn't off at all:
NYC subway stats, 2016
5,655,755 (weekdays, 2016)
3,202,388 (Saturdays, 2016)
2,555,814 (Sundays, 2016)
Stats include ALL riders including tourists and commuters etc.
This when NYC population is ~8.5 million in 2016.
Note that the $5000/head is just for the additional capital expenses.
Your math doesn't cover all the other expenses the subway system would incur, like wages, power, maintenance over the estimated 2.5 year period you mention.
